毗湿瓦密多罗说道：“凡以此咒向群牛致敬礼拜者，便得解脱诸罪业。以敬奉与侍护群牛为果，彼将得至普兰达罗（因陀罗）之诸天界，并获如月之清辉。”

Reverent salutation and service to cows, performed with the prescribed mantra, is presented as a dharmic act that purifies one from sinful actions and yields exalted spiritual results—attainment of Indra’s realm and moonlike radiance.
In Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction on dharma and gifts, Viśvāmitra describes the efficacy of a specific mantra: those who use it to venerate cows are said to be freed from sin and rewarded with heavenly attainment and luminous splendor.
